WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
‘Electronic Sound’ isn’t exactly at the front of people’s brains when it comes to Beatle Solo LPs. However, it is one of the more interesting cuts, from a vault that is possibly the most interesting and varied of off-shoot projects of any rock group. This is George Harrison of ‘My Sweet Lord’ lawsuit fame, and
-
Obviously, the story surrounding Young Thug’s RICO charges in the US is incredibly serious and very complex. If you’re looking for a serious, considered piece about this whole affair, then you should look somewhere else because, frankly, if we even hint at a sober thought, we’re too emotional and too bias and will fly off
-
At the turn of the ’80s, the yoof TV show Something Else had a great featurette on punk in Belfast. If you like local scenes, spotty kids and derelict streets, you’re in for a treat! Of course, ’80s Northern Ireland means – by law – you have to mention sectarianism and The Troubles. We’ve now
-
Everything But The Girl are back and it’s easy to worry about such a thing, because older acts can embarrass themselves sometimes. Not the case with Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt though because they love pop music and don’t muck around. It’s their first new tune in 24 years and it’s called ‘Nothing Left To
-
Not one of our writers really knows anything about K-Pop because historically, we’ve always covered rock and indie music. However, rock and indie fans don’t generate as much internet traffic as they used to and K-Pop fans apparently do, so we’re going to pretend we’ve always had a soft spot for pop music, and cover

It’s hard to sound original when there’s been so much music released, ever. However, Daniel Villareal is one of the most original musicians on the planet and you should get into him right now. Melding psychedelic jazz with dubs, post-rock, samba, spiritual music, electronics, and the kitchen sink, Villareal is a truly formidable and very,

So they can join the ranks of such luminaries as Dervish, Dustin the Turkey, and Nicky Byrne, John Lydon’s group Public Limited Image are going to compete to represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. They’re entering a new song called ‘Hawaii’ which is neither in Ireland, or Europe. Not that it matters much,
-
Morrissey is routinely awful, and yet, there’s many people who give him the time of day still despite aligning himself with literal fascist politicians and saying ropey stuff about the people of other nations. With all that, many have speculated that Miley Cyrus’ withdrawal from his (next) LP was probably something to do with his
-
The world of music journalism is filled with entitled chancers and brazen liars. We don’t exclude ourselves from this, but we have the basic decency to embrace it. Given that music publications and departments at newspapers are incredibly keen to thwart any new blood treading on their toes and stopping anyone from getting in the

ARE STANS THE FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS OF POP?
Once upon a time in the days of black and white and the British pound being split up into unfathomable fractions, fans of football teams would clap and twirl their rattles, cheering on their favourite football team and having a pint or six, with a hard luck to or from the opposing fanbase. Something changed…

KENDRICK SUPER BOWL 2025
Kendrick is doing the Super Bowl in February 2025. Now, two things – does this basically confirm a new album is going to be released before the year is out? And also, are we going to hear an entire stadium shouting “A MINNNNOOOOOOR” at Drake on the biggest televised event in the world during that…

BLACK MIDI SPLIT / SINGER GOES SOPHISTIPOP?
We’re not really into the whole post-punk, long anorak, well-read indie music stuff on these pages. We’re not saying that it is a bad thing, rather, just letting you know that with these things, we’re an unreliable source. And so to Black Midi who were the darlings of lads in cherry red Doc Martens, gloomy…

PAVEMENT / THE MOVIE
Funny what people turn into films these days. The latest to surprise us (not unpleasantly, mind) is the movie about indie slacker kings, Pavement. It is called ‘Pavements’ and directed by Alex Ross Perry who we don’t know, but we’re going to assume they love a trucker cap and a plaid shirt and some beat…
